Bug Description

In a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.04, MAGICK-INSTALL fails with this message:

kup@reinhold:~/Downloads/magick-rotation-1.6.2$ ./MAGICK-INSTALL
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./MAGICK-INSTALL", line 96, in <module>
    usr_for_group + "'"
NameError: name 'sudo' is not defined

It used to work in 12.10.

The problem seems to be that the command "gksudo" is not present in a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.04. It needs to be installed with "apt-get install gksu". Then MAGICK-INSTALL works.

Other things that do not work when installing in 13.04:
- magick-rotation is not put into startup applications
- magick-rotation is not whitelisted in the unity panel (in fact, the dconf-key for whitelisting is not even present, so I don't know how whitelisting works in 13.04)

Thank you for the heads up on gksudo. Will either have to add "apt-get install gksu" to the instructions or the Installer.

As for the systray/whitelis issue see my answer to this question: https://answers.launchpad.net/magick-rotation/+question/227524

Changed in magick-rotation:

Hi Ruediger,

I think they added gksudo back, which was good. At least I didn't run into it when writing the App Indicator (the System Tray icon). And now there is a testing version of Magick with an App Indicator for Unity Raring (or later) available on the devel branch, revision 68.

Test version for Ubuntu 13.04 (and later) Unity App Indicator in -> Code -> devel branch -> rev. 68 -> download tarball; see FAQ 1406 for more detail.

Sorry it took so long.

installing gksudo resolved it for me
